Philip Randolph, national president; P. Webster, first vice- president, and C. L. Dellums, fourth vice-president. Five resolutions were presented io the convention concerning Negro workers and the Negro people in particular by Randolph.

One called for the expulsion of all nalional and international unions from the American Federation of Labor that had color clauses in their constitutions and color pledges in their rituals. The presentation of this resolution provoked a heated debate on the floor. The talk by Randolph received an ovation from Ihe delegates. President Green appointed a committee of five lo report its findings afler of the whole status of the Negro workers in relation to the American Federation of Labor. This was the most signal victory and the most definite bit of progress that has yet been made In -getting anything done that may be helpful lo Negro workers.

'LUCRATIVE BALLYHOO' "The Communists have raised huge sums of money by Ihe exploitation of this'faso through paid admission-mass meetings throughout the country, and kindred forms of lucrative ballyhoo.

I do not propose to have myself or my clients used any longer lo provide funds for parades to Ihe city hall to disconcert the mayor of our city, or for similar expeditions to Washington to embarrass the President.

The Clansman attitude during the exposition in San Francisco led her to request The Oakland Tribune to publish articles of outstanding Negro visitors and their achievements.

These three boats, the Sarah Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery, the latler of but 20 Ions, did not actually land until May 9, the spot where the landing look place being named Cape Henry. Here the first English colony of the new world established itself. One of Ihe colonists, a young man of 28, named Captain John Smith, handled the military defenses of the new founded town against the rather unfriendly Indians, and to his valor and ability, the success of tho colony was due. The one cent stamp of this series pictures him dressed in the armor of the military men ot that time.
